By Foo Yun CheeBRUSSELS (Reuters) - Proposed European Union rules targeting tech companies should ensure that they are regulated in the EU country where they are based, Twitter, online video platform Vimeo Inc and three other companies said on Thursday.Tech companies are concerned that European countries seeking to grab regulatory power over them may try to amend the "country of origin" principle in the Digital Services Act (DSA) draft.Under the principle, Ireland regulates Twitter, Apple, Alphabet unit Google and Facebook because they have their European headquarters there, while Amazon is subject to Luxembourg's supervision."A strong country of origin principle supports a diverse online marketplace," Twitter, Vimeo, Automattic, which is the parent company of online publishing tool WordPress and Tumblr, Czech search engine Seznam and German social media platform Jodel said in a joint statement."Without it, we risk entrenching the largest players, reducing consumer choice and irreparably splintering the Digital Single Market," they said.They said the DSA, which requires U.S. tech companies to do more to police the internet for illegal content, should set out a standard definition for illegal content and a harmonised enforcement framework across the 27-country bloc.The European Commission will kick off negotiations with EU countries and EU…

LOWER POTTSGROVE PA – Supply chain disruptions and an outbreak of COVID-19 among construction workers have combined to temporarily delay the start of added improvements at Gerald Richards Park in Lower Pottsgrove, the township engineering firm reported Monday (Dec. 6, 2021) to the Board of Commissioners. Renovations at the park “got off to a slow start” in recent weeks, McCarthy Engineering Associates Inc. told the board, in part because material deliveries expected for the park’s Phase II renovation plan were held up by supply routing problems experienced nationwide. Those are already being addressed, the firm noted. But there wasn’t much engineers could do about a second problem, it added. A bout of COVID-19 infections took hold among several employees of contractor James R. Kenney of Collegeville, engineers stated. The spate of illnesses, according to McCarthy, left the contractor with minimum crew strength and unable to get under way. As a result, construction equipment has sat idle in a well-staked field (at top) visible on the south side of Buchert Road at the park. The latest round of work, valued at more than $528,000, includes building a new soccer field where stakes are already placed, re-designing and enhancing the walking trail…

Photo by Ronald Martinez /Getty Images LAS VEGAS — Doesn’t everyone arrive in Las Vegas thinking, hoping anyway, that they’re on the brink of a lucky streak? Advertisement This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Except in Blake Coleman’s case, this isn’t about throwing dice, coming up with the perfect mix of face cards and aces at the blackjack table or getting the right bounces on the roulette wheel. The Calgary Flames’ summer signing snapped out of a lengthy scoring drought Friday in Anaheim. And … “It’s one of those things that has come in waves in my career,” Coleman had mentioned hours before that slump-busting snipe, his first since late October. “I usually get hot and stay hot for a little bit, and then I have little spells like this. Just have work my way out of that. “But fortunately, the team has been winning. That’s what is most important.” For Coleman, Friday’s result must have been twice as nice. The Flames prevailed again, extending their remarkable…
